Key:boot_scraper

A boot scraper is an outdoor device where shoes and boots can be cleaned. They can often be found outside Georgian or Victorian buildings (residential, less often churches), but also at the entrances of parks and national parks to prevent spreading invasive species or similar.

How to map

Because boot scrapers are very small features that are usually/ often associated either with an entrance door or an information sign, it is the safest practice to add the boot_scraper=* to the entrance=* or the for tourism=information + information=board (or whatever applies).

If you want to indicate which site of the entrance the boot scrapers is at, going into the door, you can use boot_scraper=left/ boot_scraper=right/ boot_scraper=both.

If you want to add wikimedia links to an image of the boot scraper, use boot_scraper:wikimedia_commons=*, because the regular wikimedia_commons=* will be expected to show the entrance.
